No disrespect to the movie actors, God love 'em, but let's be honest - David Moscow is the only one in that cast who had any real vocal talent.
LOL. It's so true - EXCEPT, there's one of the secondary newsies, a guy named Mud, who can sing. It's hilarious. They'll be doing an ensemble piece, and suddenly there will be one line sung in actual singing voice.
I love the movie with unironic love. I adore it to pieces.
Speaking of ironic pelvic thrusts, Newsies led to my very first introduction to slash. When I was an innocent young thing web searching stuff on the movie (before Google, even), I ran across a reference to David Moscow's character inviting Bale's character to stay with his family for the night, and how this was clearly a come-on. I was utterly scandalized, and I didn't look up anything else fannish for years.
Also, this is my favorite Christian Bale movie. I read somewhere that he hated the entire experience and refuses to talk about it, but in time since as a 'serious' actor, the only thing he's done that I liked half as well was The Prestige, which is a very different sort of a thing.
